BREAST AUGMENTATION

WHAT IS IT FOR?

BREAST AUGMENTATION IS PERFORMED TO ENHANCE YOUR BREAST VOLUME, TO INCREASE FULLNESS AND PROJECTION. BOTH SALINE AND SILICONE GEL FILLED IMPLANTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BREAST ENHANCEMENTS; LESS COMMONLY YOUR OWN FAT MAY BE USED. SOME PATIENTS MAY BENEFIT FROM BREAST LIFTS FOR ADDITIONAL LIFTING OF THE BREAST TISSUE.

HOW?

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT INCISIONS WHEN PLACING BREAST IMPLANTS, AROUND THE NIPPLE-AREOLAR, THE INFRAMMARY FOLD (UNDER THE BREAST), TRANSAXILLARY (UNDER THE ARM PIT) AND TRANSUMBILICAL (THRU THE BELLY BUTTON). IMPLANTS MAY BE PLACED BEHIND THE MUSCLE (SUBMUSCULAR) OR ABOVE THE PECTORALIS MUSCLE (SUBGLANDULAR).
